The biggest surprise on this list was Blanchard. The former Wisconsin Whitewater product was impressive during the offseason and showed well in training camp and the preseason.

Blanchard could still be offered a place on the eight-man practice squad, although other teams, including the Miami Dolphins, have already shown interest in him.

Also surprising was Summers, who showed flashes of serious potential in the prseason. He dropped two touchdowns against the Redskins and fumbled a ball but his size (6-4, 211) and athleticism is intriguing.

The team still has one more cut to make. Final cuts, trimming the roster down to 53, are due this Friday, Aug. 31.
